For the next 10 Friday evenings, jazz fans from the District and beyond will continue to enjoy the Jazz in the Garden Concert Series, as guests of the National Gallery of Art. The beloved summer ritual of gathering alongside works of art, sitting with pals while listening and dancing to an assortment of musical styles performed by a wide range of jazz artists is, for the 11th season, in full swing and free of charge.
“The attendance for the National Gallery of Art’s Jazz in the Garden series has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since it started in 2001 and last year averaged an attendance of more than 16,000 each Friday,” said Deborah Ziska, spokeswoman for the National Gallery of Art. “In total, the gallery has welcomed nearly 850,000 visitors for jazz since the beginning of the series.”
